My 2011 BMW M3 was stolen from my drive on 04 Oct 2016. There was no broken glass or debris. I've since learned that there's a security loophole and car thieves can make a clone of the keys by listening in when you open and close your door. They can then come at their time of choosing and drive away your car without even physically breaking in ... yes it's that easy!! The reason I'm giving a poor review to BMW is not only for the security breach although that is a valid enough reason, but also for failing to inform me and people like me in time. I now know they've known about this for quite a long time, so why wasn't there a recall? I will be writing to them shortly. As far as I'm concerned they have been negligent.
I've also learned that someone else living on my road had their BMW X5 stolen in very similar circumstances a few days before mine. I think this is a huge issue. BMW you haven't heard the last of this!
